Peer mentor wanted by a person four months into recovery from gambling addiction.

I'm four months into recovery from gambling addiction. I attend meetings and see a counselor, but the weeks between meetings are the hardest. I'd love a mentor - someone who has a year or more of recovery and who would be willing to talk once a week. I'm not looking for a replacement for treatment. I'm looking for someone who understands what a bad Tuesday night feels like. I'd prefer someone who's happy to do video calls. Any country is fine. I'll be respectful of your time and boundaries, and happy to pay it forward later. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    So sorry you're going through this, Gerard. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

      best of luck, Gerard. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Limerick.
